"Probably some of the best ice cream I’ve had. A lot of flavor options, as well as sugar free and dairy free. They also have baked cookies and brownies to add to your ice cream or if you want to make a cookie sandwich, and some other simpler toppings, and they do shakes and malts too. They even make their own waffle cones. We have ordered two ice cream cakes on separate occasions for birthdays and they are absolutely delicious! You just need to give them at least a week notice to make it for you. Try them out and support this locally-owned business!"

"We’re visiting from out of town for the tractor pulls and stopped with our grandkids for ice cream before going to the East Park (an amazing park too!) for a chance to run. My granddaughter said it was the best ice cream she’s ever had! Loved that they had mini sizes for the kids, brownies that were divine and fun original flavors of ice cream . We’ll definitely be back!"
